Year 3/4 - Fox Class
Class Teacher - Mrs M Chapman
Learning Support Assistants - Mrs Midgley and Mrs Jackson
Key Information
We are Fox class and a mix of Year 3 and Year 4 pupils. This means we carefully tailor the learning journeys to meet the needs of both age ranges. Using support from the Hampshire Advisory Team, we have begun to look at which areas of the curriculum marry together so that we can make learning rich and exciting while covering the statutory requirements.
In maths, we used mixed phase Hampshire block planning, which is supported by reasoning tasks from White Rose. We encourage pupils to have dialogue around the maths they are completing. By explaining their work, they are beginning to deepen their understanding.
Our writing curriculum uses rich texts with a focus on developing pupils vocabulary. We explore themes across authors and books before making connections with our own experiences.
During the afternoon, we enjoy participating in our wider curriculum learning. This includes French, History, Computing, Science, Geography and much more.

How can I help at home?
Please continue to read regularly at home with your child. It doesn't have to be long, little and often is best. Remember: it can also be comics, shopping lists, postcards etc. This is especially important if you feel your child is reluctant to read - find something that captures their interests. Pop in and speak to the class teacher for ideas too.
